Grande Pre Memorial and Museum


 Grand-Pré National Historic Site is a park set aside to commemorate the Grand-Pré area of Nova Scotia as a centre of Acadian settlement from 1682 to 1755, and the British deportation of the Acadians that happened during the French and Indian War. The original village of Grand Pré extended four kilometres along the ridge between present-day Wolfville and Hortonville. Grand-Pré is listed as a World Heritage Site and is the main component of two National Historic Sites of Canada 


Grand-Pré (French for great meadow) is located on the shore of the Minas Basin, an area of tidal marshland, first settled about 1680 by Pierre Melanson dit La Verdure, his wife Marguerite Mius d'Entremont and their five young children who came from nearby Port-Royal, which was the first capital of the French settlement of Acadia (Acadie in French).

Pierre Melanson and the Acadians who joined him in Grand-Pré built dykes there to hold back the tides along the Minas Basin. They created rich pastures for their animals and fertile fields for their crops. Grand-Pré became the bread basket of Acadia, soon outgrew Port-Royal, and by the mid-18th century was the largest of the numerous Acadian communities around the Bay of Fundy and the coastline of Nova Scotia

 

Wall of Names of Acadian Refugees in Early Louisiana Records

The Wall of Names lists approximately 3000 persons identified as Acadian refugees in early Louisiana records. Their names are engraved on twelve bronze plaques and framed in granite. Visitors of Acadian descent are encouraged to use the wall, or our online database, Ensemble Encore, as a starting point for genealogical research. We hope these resources will reunite many Acadian families. An inscription on the Wall reads in both English and French, "Pause friend, read my name and remember..."
